It is situated 37 km from Mihara History Museum and features a shared kitchen. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service. Beautiful property and the host was amazing. He was so nice and gave amazing recommendations. He called a restaurant to make a reservation for which he recommended and it was one of the best yakiniku places we’ve been to. We also went out to a karaoke bar with him and we had a great time! It was a nice property but the host made the experience even better!

ゲストハウス奈良庵 Nara An, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Nara, 5.9 km from Nara Station, 13 km from Iwafune Shrine, as well as 17 km from Nippon Christ Kyodan Shijonawate Church. Boasting a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. If we could give Hariko (a Nara native) and Dane (from Washington State) a 100 ⭐s we would! Great location within a 10 minute walk to the train station that will connect you to many wonderful places. The accommodations are comfortable and public spaces inviting. Be sure to include breakfast - while a continental breakfast is available the traditional Japanese (our choice) was tasty and filling.

Offering a shared lounge and garden view, Guesthouse Naramachi is set in Nara, 1.6 km from Nara Station and 20 km from Iwafune Shrine. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. Bed comfortable - lovely to stay in a ryokan. Marginally stressful with rambunctious 10yo and paper walls! The owner was amazing and exceptionally kind. My husband needed medical attention and he rang around to find out what was open on public holiday and then drove him to hospital, translated and drove him home. Incredibly kind and far far exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!

This recently renovated guest house is located 11 km from Iwafune Shrine and 13 km from Nara Station. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. Very nice traditional Japanese house, conveniently located near the metro that goes to Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Staff was incredibly kind and even lent me their umbrella when it was raining. The place was clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the futons were very comfortable. I also enjoyed the Japanese traditional breakfast. I would definitely recommend it!

余韻 奈良宿 - yoinn narayado is a recently renovated guest house in Gojō, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. The property is around 28 km from Subaru Hall, 36 km from Tanpi Shrine and 36 km from Mihara History Museum. Providing free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking guest house features a hot tub. We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!
